The Whit was a great place to stay in New Buffalo! We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the clean, private swimming pool. Unfortunately, during our stay there was construction next door and the noise was quite loud. (Certainly not the owner’s fault but it did dampen the enjoyment of our outdoor time.) There was plenty of space for our 5 adults and 3 children around the large dining table and in the main living area. (We found the dining chairs a little uncomfortable after spending several hours playing games at the table ) A nice touch was the sliding barn door that closed off the first floor bedrooms from the rest of the house especially since our “littles” needed their sleep! We appreciated the walkability to downtown shops and ice cream stores. The beach was a short drive away (walkable-but with 3 kids and all their gear, we chose to drive).The kitchen was well equipped. We did not find extra trash bags and plastic wrap/foil so we suggest bringing those.A word of caution - the pool deck gets extremely hot on your feet. The amount and quality of lounge chairs available around the pool was great! A few little tables to hold drinks, sunscreen, etc, would be a nice addition. Also installing a more difficult lock to open at the gate entrance to the pool would put parents’ minds a little more at ease.Our interactions with Freshwater Vacation Rentals/Host were fantastic! They responded quickly and graciously to all our questions and requests.Overall - 5 stars!

Five adults and four children were easily able to have a wonderful stay at The Whit. It is as advertised. Highly recommended. The location is walkable to everything, and the pool is really special. The service was also fantastic upon one minor hot tub issue we found at check-in. Do not hesitate. Book at The Whit!

The pool!!!

If you have a family with kids this is the perfect spot. The pool was what did it. When you’re done with the beach and the kids have a little energy to burn off after dinner but before bed, it’s perfect. The deep end of the pool has to be over 5 1/2 feet, perfect for teenagers. You get to set the hot tub temperature, 99 degrees with the whole family enjoying themselves, in and out of the heated pool and the hot tub. Stairs are there so you have to keep an eye on the little ones, but soooo worth it. Please everyone use the shower downstairs, it’s amazing!

Overpriced-Low Quality- Lacked Essentials

House exterior was not well maintained-weeds and untrimmed trees around pool. Hot tub was murky and exterior light bulbs not working. Even the inflatables were not usable. Poor quality beds and linens, outdoor mats had holes in them, kitchen had the bare minimum essentials to prepare a meal. Would not stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry that The Whit did not meet your expectations. You are absolutely correct; the landscaping should have been better maintained by the professional company we’ve entrusted with this work, and we’ll ensure they uphold our standards going forward. The lighting has been checked, and I can confirm that it’s all in working order. Additionally, we have a professional hot tub company handling regular maintenance to keep it in top condition for our guests. I apologize for the oversight with the inflatables left by a previous guest. Our cleaner should have addressed this, and we’ll review our processes to prevent similar oversights in the future. While The Whit offers a fantastic location with the added amenities of a hot tub and pool, I hear your suggestions regarding possible upgrades, and we will bring them to the property owner. Thank you once again for your feedback—it helps us improve our guests’ experiences, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

“Vacation” with 8 kids

My family (kids ages 1, 2, 4, and 6) stayed here with another couple who also have 4 kids the same ages. House was clean and felt newly redone on the inside. Everything was pretty well set up for kids. Doors out to the pool are deadbolted and have added child locks. To get down to the pool off the deck you have to open gate that was too difficult for even the 6 year olds to open independently. They had a basket of toys, and a bunch of board games. Only child proofing recommendation I would make to those looking at staying here is to bring a baby gate if you have any kids not comfortable on stairs. The stairs leading down to the basement are open to the main floor. Location is very walkable to town and a longer walk to the beach. This walk is through town though so easy to make a pit stop on the way to/from. The negative about the location is that it is on the main road so can’t really let kids play in front yard. Overall it’s a great house and we hope to return!

No-stress New Buffalo Vacation home

I am giving our experience at The Whit five stars - but please read further to make sure it works for your vacation. We enjoyed our stay at The Whit for three nights - just four of us so the house was the perfect size!! The pool and deck is the largest selling point here! We decided that we are more a "pool family" versus a "beach family," (haha) so the proximity of the house to the beach was perfect and we were able to enjoy the best of both worlds. One night we built a fire in the pit and enjoyed S'mores. The house is conveniently located and is a short walk to all the wonderful shops and restaurants that New Buffalo has to offer. The Whit itself is in great condition. The beds are all fairly comfortable but could use some new pillows! The house can sleep ten people but if you're all going to shower before dinners out, there are only two showers. In my opinion that would be the only negative in booking this house with a larger group. For my family of four (teenaged kids) we had plenty of space. There is a sliding door that closes off the bedroom area, so if you had little kids going to bed at an early hour, you could close off the bedrooms and still enjoy the main living space. In addition, the washer and dryer work great! Lastly, the Whit is pet friendly. We also brought our mini Australian Labradoodle who stayed in his crate while we were gone. There is a hose where we washed him off after the beach. I would recommend this house!

Elizabeth, thank you so very much for taking the time to write this extensive review and for your recommendation.

Good House but average experience overall

We rented this house as a group of friends to enjoy our Memorial Day weekend. The house itself was good and the location was great. A few things that I want to highlight that could have made our experience better: 1. We asked the host for the code to the garage, which was shared to us. We wanted to understand if there is space to park our car in the garage and to understand if we could borrow firewood. Since the host shared the garage code, we opened the garage and went in to look for firewood. We understood that we were not supposed to use the things from the garage from a note there so we closed the garage. We then got a call from the host saying they have videos of us going through their personal property and that we were never supposed to have been in the garage. This felt extremely unprofessional. If we weren’t supposed to be there, we should have never received the code. They shared the code and then they called us and made it sound like it was our fault. The conversation felt very accusative which we did not appreciate. 2. The dishwasher was completely broken and was a major inconvenience. We hand washed all our dishes throughout the trip and had to clean the multiple leaks from the dishwasher.3. The kitchen was not very well stocked, it only had very basic condiments. The ice bag in the freezer was already open and used. 4. The swimming pool could have been heated a few degrees more for a much better experience. Overall, an average experience.

I’m glad you and your friends were able to spend Memorial Day together — that time with loved ones is always special. I’m sorry your experience wasn’t as ideal as either of us had hoped. The garage is for storage only and not for guest use, as there isn’t enough space to park a vehicle. A new employee mistakenly provided you with the code — my sincere apologies for that confusion. Please know that there was no intent for my staff to sound accusatory in our communication. As for firewood, it’s not included or advertised as a provided amenity. However, there are several nearby options in New Buffalo where you can easily purchase or even have wood delivered for convenience. The dishwasher was not completely broken — it had a small seal leak. When you called, our team offered to send someone to inspect it right away, but you preferred not to be disturbed, which we completely understand. We suggested using a towel temporarily to protect the floor from any small leak. I appreciate your feedback about the kitchen supplies and your preference for a more generously stocked setup beyond the basics. We’ll take that into consideration for future improvements. Regarding the pool, I wish you would have reached out about the temperature — it can be adjusted to your liking during your stay. I’m sorry we didn’t “wow” you this time. I completely understand that this stay felt more “average,” but I hope the quality time you shared with friends helped make the trip memorable, nonetheless. Warm regards, Cara
